Originally, according to Zhu Yunhao's plan.
For the time being, the development of Qiongzhou was stable, and the focus was on the construction of Leizhou.
After all, Leizhou had just been acquired not long ago. If it wanted to develop and have a good development trend, it could not do without infrastructure.
However, the population of Qiongzhou was limited, and the number of people that could be sent out was limited.
Zhu Yunhao racked his brains to squeeze out a construction team of less than 20,000.
Although 20,000 yuan was a lot, it was absolutely a drop in the bucket for the construction of Leizhou.
Zhu Yunhao's so-called construction was not a small construction.
He wanted to build a comprehensive system from the village to the city.
From the villages and towns, to the county, state, and prefecture.
It included education, production, commerce, transportation, and so on.
Zhu Yunhao was practically copying some of the systems of the later generations.
As long as he needed it, he would set up a department.
Of course, other than the administrative and law enforcement departments, the other departments did not have much power. They only existed for one purpose.
That was to quickly build a magical building that was beneficial to the local development.
To put it bluntly, it was to spend money.
These people would build countless Confucius Temples, Martial Saint Temples, Bluecloud Progenitor Temples, and God of Wealth Temples in Leizhou to help Zhu Yunhao stabilize the people and develop the place.
He would also set up schools in villages, towns, counties, and prefectures to train talents for Qiongzhou.
They would even teach ordinary commoners to build fish ponds, chicken coops, duck coops, and farms to help the commoners get rid of poverty and gradually become rich.
Other than these, there were many more.
For example, rebuilding the port of Leizhou, establishing a Chamber of Commerce, building roads, opening roads, excavating, developing mines, establishing various workshops, and driving the economy of Leizhou, etc.
There were too many people needed here.
Originally, Zhu Yunhao was still having a headache about how to support the construction of Leizhou as much as possible.
He did not expect Xiao Ling to give him such a big surprise.
A million people!
With so many people, for the time being, they could completely make up for the shortage of population in Qiongzhou.
This would allow him to mobilize more people to support the construction of Leizhou and make Leizhou completely his in a short period of time.
As for Qiongzhou, although these people who had just arrived in Qiongzhou might have complaints in their hearts, Zhu Yunhao did not care about them at all.
He was confident that after these people adapted to life in Qiongzhou, they would have a fundamental change.
One had to know that the lives of the people in Qiongzhou were completely different from the lives of the people in other places of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Yunhao could say with certainty that the people who had adapted to life in Qiongzhou would never want to return to their original lives unless their brains were caught by a door.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunhao said to Xiao Ding,"
"Inform all the officials in Qiongzhou Prefecture to come to the seaport and register these people.”
"At the same time, mobilize the Qiongzhou Guards to maintain order at the port and prevent the citizens from stirring up trouble.”
"Also, prepare to transfer about 50,000 people to Leizhou to support the construction.”
"The construction of Leizhou cannot be stopped.”
Xiao Ding said hesitantly,
"Your Highness, isn't it a bit rushed to send so many people to the Thunder Province? These people have just arrived in the Qiongzhou Province, so they need the old man to lead them.”
Zhu Yunhao said rudely,"
"If the elder of Qiongzhou is leading them, why do we need the officials of Qiongzhou? It was time to test their abilities. If I can't even handle such a small matter, why should I spend so much money to support them?”
Xiao Ding was very clear about the meaning of Zhu Yunhao's words. The officials of Qiongzhou were different from the other officials of the Ming Dynasty.
Almost all of the officials in Qiongzhou were from Qiongzhou Academy.
The dean of Qiongzhou Academy was Zhu Yunhao himself.
It could be said that the officials of Qiongzhou were basically Zhu Yunhao's disciples.
They were all personally trained by Zhu Yunhao.
Most of them were young and promising officials, and they were extremely capable.
This was because the Qiongzhou College had always adhered to one principle, which was to let the capable go, let the mediocre go, and eliminate the inferior.
There was no such thing as seniority or family background.
Anyone who had the ability and good character would be promoted immediately.
Moreover, in Qiongzhou, the real officials had great power and high salaries.
The treatment was something that no official of the Ming Dynasty could compare to.
Because of this, there were very few corrupt officials in Qiongzhou.
Even the officials of Qiongzhou disdained to do such a thing.
With the salary of the officials of Qiongzhou, it was enough to let their families live a good life. They did not want to ruin their future for a small profit.
At the same time, Jingzhou dealt with corruption and perverting the law extremely severely.
Once they were discovered and the evidence was conclusive, they would be kicked out of Qiongzhou and never hired. In serious cases, they would be beheaded.
Under such a policy of high salaries, kindness, and power, there were basically no mediocre officials in Qiongzhou.
Zhu Yunhao's intention this time was more to test the adaptability of the officials of Qiongzhou.
Xiao Ding nodded and said,
"Yes, this subordinate understands."
